ing on the Labrador Coast.
ST. JOSEPH, Mo-, Sept s. Intelligence was
received in this city Wednesday evening of a
disaster on the Kansas City, St Joe q. Coun-
ell Bluffs road near Alton, Iowa, by which
four persons were killed and twenty wounded.
A local passenger train was run into by the
Creston express, which was making about
thirty five miles an hour. The killed and
wounded were taken to Creston.
LATER is list of the killed
and injured in the collision: Infant of Mrs.
A. f. Mosher. of Creston, Iowa, killed in its
mothers arms; Mrs. Mosher, both legs broken,
arms and breast scalded and head badly cut,
no hope of recovery; B. Broughma and wife,
Charlotte, Mich, both slightly cut and
scalded; s. ]. Gray, of Greenfield, Iowa, a
one-armed man, hand badly cut; K c. Full
lerton, OF Chillicothe, Wis, back injured
Sarah Grueninger, of Cleveland, Ohio, dan.
gerously scalded; Anna Morrell, of Red Oak,
io"tt, pduIl scditcu, u w. Ddiie ANU WIFE, Vi
Michigan, backs hurt: Col. C. s. Smith, OF
Harrisonville, Mo-, back and hip wrenched
Mr. and Mrs. Charles Z. Cook, of Brooklyn,
N. Y, and two sons were on the train. Both
sons are hurt. The youngest, aged years,
was scalded, 1t is feared fatally.
Reports are somewhat conflicting, but il
appears that the passenger train had stopped
in order to let a freight train just ahead gel
out of the way and sent a fiagman back tc
the mail. The fiagman met the mail and was
taken aboard, but when the point where the
passenger had stopped was in sight that train
had moved on, and the engineer of the mail
took it for granted that the passenger had
gone ahead and given clear track to Alton,
and he pulled out at usual speed until he
turned curve and the train appeared before
him, too close to stop and only far enough
away to give him time to reverse the engine
and jump for his life

HAMILTON, Ohio, Sept S-The first meet
ing of the state campaign of the Democratic
party was held here Wednesday evening. 1t
was very large and enthusiastic meeting.
The Duckworth and Ohio clubs, of Cincin-
natl and the jefferson club, of Springfield,
were in attendance as well as a number of
leading Democrats from other parts of the
state
The first speech was made by Hon. Thomas
+. Powell, candidate for governor, and his
speech was listened to by large concourse
of people, who from time to time gave evil
dence of theiEappreciation of his points by
applause Mr.. Powell devoted nearly one
third of his time to Governor Foraker and his
administration. Speaking of what was de
manded of a governor of Ohio, the third
state in the Union, he said For
aker's attack upon President Cleve-
land in his speech of acceptance was I'M
worthy of one aspiring to such high office,
and for it he had received condemnation at
the hands of private citizens and from the
public press throughout the country He
claimed also that Governor Foraker had pub
licly insulted the 40o,0 900 Democratic voters
of Ohio by referring TO them in his speech as
the rebel brigade and as 4confederates' and
dirty Democrats.
Speaking of the matter of the rebel flags,
he said the governor by his conduct at
soldiers reunions, and especially at Wheel
ing, had disguised the best men in his own
party, and they had called halt on him.
This had gone to such an extent that the ex-
ecutive committee had issued asecond edition
of his speeches, and unlike the tariff, they
had both been revised and reformed
Going back to his first topic, he said the
people wanted governor who would give
less attention to the war that ended twenty
years ago and more to the peaceful problems
of the present aud future
The question of tariff reform was discussed
at some length, and occupied about one-third
of the address. He favored thorough revi-
sion and an honest reformation of the present
system, and said that the tariff should be so
reduced that no more revenue should be
raised than the government needed He ad-
vocated keeping the taxes upon whisky,
tobacco, and articles OF luxury, and making
food, clothing, and articles of necessity and
general consumption cheaper.
He gave some attention to Forakers claims
Of the blessings of prohibition as given in his
article in The Forum, and made considerable
ridicule of several statements in that article.
He next gave summary of what had been

WILKEsBARRR, Pa, Sept S.-Nothing
definite can be learned as to the course the
miners in this vicinity will pursue OH account
of the refusal OF the greater number of coal
operators to recognize their demand for an
advance of wages. The men are very re-
ticent, and very little reliable information
can be CLEANED as to what they propose doing
The leaders will not be interviewed under
any circumstances. The sentiment among
business men is that the operators in the lower
end of Luzerne will make concessions to the
men, if they do not give all that is demanded,
and thereby prevent what at this stage
threatens to be a strike of $1,000 mine work
